Status of the Kansas and Iowa Cases Before
the Supreme Court.
Washington Special.
The counsel who are striving to maintain the
validity of the Kansas and Iowa prohibitory
legislation before the United States Supreme
Court are earnestly endsavoring to get addi.
tional argument before the court before any do
cision shall be announced. the denial of the
motion to advance the cases pending on the
docket and to withhold decision upon cases
already argued, as mentioned yesterday.
apparently disappointment to the
Prohbitionists They seem to feel that
further argument of their cause is important, il
not essential. After the decree of the court do
nying the motion to advance pending cases was
announced, Attoruey-generel Bradford, of Kan
sas. offered a motion to reopen the cases hither-
to agued and submitted on the ground that tho
counsel or the other side flor the liquor interest)
violated an agreement; that after having agreed
to submit tn Q case on briefs. they put in oral
argument The court directed that the motion
be prnted
Those who are opposing prohibition contend
that there was violation oe any agreement.
Iney say there was an agreement hetween the
counsel representing both sides in Kansas. but
that it did not extend bevopd counsel then in
the case: that the counsel then in the case did
not submit any oral argument. but Mr.. Choate.
of New York. who was specially employed by
the brewers of New York. made the arguments
that no agreement made between counsel in
Kansas could be binding upon him, and hence
the claim of n violation of agreement is not we'll
founded.
Attorney general Bradford and Mr.. Packard,
counsel for the Prohibitionsts. in conversation
with reporter. said they could not conceive
that the denial Of the motion to advance by the
court implies that tho forthcoming decision will
be adverse to prohibition. '.fnis is . question
or the greatest importance.a said Mr.. Packard.
"A decision overthrowing the prohibition legis-
lation would be widespread in its effect. IL is
one Of the most important. far-reaching ques-
tions the court has ever had bsfore it. and IL
stands TO reason that the court would not refuse
additional light. il it contemplated decision

Petitions Have Been Tampered With.

Petitions Have Been Tempered With.
CHICAGO, Oct. TO the forty men and
dozen women who attended the meeting Of the
Amnesty Society tonight. President L. S.
Oliver made a remarkable statement He said
that he had been greatly disappointed at not
receiving petitions with sigma
lures from States outside Of Illinois
asking Communication of sentence for
the condemned Anarchists. He believed the
only way to account for not receiving them was
that they had been tampered with in the United
States mails. In many cases. In answer to re-
quests. he had sent rolls of blank petitions to
parties in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and
New York two or three times over.
and still they would write that
the matter had never been received. Mrs.
Holmes jumped up and said she had be en-
threatened with arrest by the authorities in the
postoffice for mailing amnesty petitions. Presi-
dent Oliver said she could not be arrested, but.
on the contrary. those making such threats were
liable arrest, and good lawyers had
volunteered to prosecute such cases without
charge If brought to their notice. Another re-
markable statement made by Mr.. Oliver was
that over 250 invitations had been sent to
many different ministers of the gospel, asking
them to attend the amnesty meetings and
press their opinion, but mono had come and very
few had responded even by letter.
